With the aircraft almost out of fuel and just flying on one engine, the crew of the Lady Be Good baled out into the night sky.
A surveyor's Land Rover emerges seemingly out of nowhere during our sand storm camp move in the Calanscio Sand Sea.
Of course,we couldn't leave our wrecked Land Rover in the dunes, we had to recover it. Some joker had written 'Ouch!!' on the door after the flight and before the recovery.
After this hard landing, today's photo shows this flight was not quite as far as the Wright Flyer. And I wouldn't say the flight could be defined as 'controlled' either
Now jumping back to the Calanscio Sand Sea in eastern Libya in 1991 for a photo of a hard landing.
